Staple said 8 yrs $91M. Tavares took less term and money to leave the Isles for Toronto. I still can't stop laughing about it.

Wait, they only offered 8/91? San Jose offered 7/91 just reported though ... Islanders had to have known that, should have at least offered the most AAV per year

Isles are most likely going to lose De Haan. They were so high after the draft and it's all come crashing down.

Out of all of this, what I am loving is Gorton isn't overpaying for depth players and intangibles

Kovalchuk turned down an insane extension offer from Atlanta to leave too. He said no to 12x8.4 mil and 7x10mil. And this was way back in 2009 when the cap was 70% what it is now.
Sometimes, when the choice is between 85 and 90 million freaking dollars (smaller difference with taxes) quality of life matters more than the extra couple.

How is getting a Top 20 center in the league without giving up your best prospects a loss here?

$77 million is a lot of money. To play in your hometown as well and IMO the Maple Leafs have a whole lot more future than the Sharks do. This was the smartest thing Tavares could do IMO. Better coach--a young stud superstar Matthews---also Marner and Nylander and Kadri and O'Rielly etc. Most of the Sharks better players are a lot older than that group.

Yeah, you'd think that, but it's the Isles we're talking about here. Just think, they could've put Komarov's offer towards Tavares and have been better off.

These deals are making the addition of Matt Beleskey in the Nash deal a little sweeter. His cap hit is actually a bargain compared to quite a few of these deals that have been handed out. If he can get back to even 10g and 10-15a that’s a bargain bin addition

It's not. Buffalo did not get a good return at all.
1st+2nd+Thompson for Hayes would be meh for me - for reference

Even better, the dude only has this year and next year on his contract, and at a measly 1.9 per year. If he is an NHL regular again I bet we turn him into a 3rd round pick, maybe even a 2nd if he puts up those stats

He’s a big guy and power forwards take longer to develop. I’ve followed him for a while and he’s very noticeable on the ice, has a great shot, moves well for his size, can make plays happen etc. the points will soon follow. Can see him being a 20-25 g 40-50 point player soon. I love Lindgren (before anyone else on here too) but Thompson>>Lindgren. Thompson is a big RHS RW shoot first player. The exact kind of player we need right now

Eh, if he has more value than Lindgren I think it is subjective, but fair enough
